Well Dec 8th came and went and I think I'm going to execute Nagumo. He had strict orders to attack PH again and all he did was hit the airfield once and pounce on a fleeing US Destroyer TF. Now he is low on ammo will be ordered to withdraw - in disgrace I might add. Everything went ok, I finally took some bases, but those damn Marines on Wake won't die. I took Guam and the Allies scuttled the MSW Penguin to avod it being captured. There was a not so vicious surface conflict just north of Lingayen (PI) where Rob sent a small TF of PT boats against my invasion fleet. The bombardment fleet blew the hell out of 5 PTs and left several others smoking cripples at a cost of two Allied torpedoes hitting home - one on a cruiser, one on a AP (I think). My subs officially suck. I lost 5 subs in one day with one or two more crippled - probably not making it back to any base. 2 Were lost near PH, 1 in the Straits of Malacca - from the Repulse's battle grounp. Two more were lost off the coast of Soerbaja trying to interdict Allied escapees. Not much else to report, other than PI seems to be going well - have 3 bases there now - whereas in Malaya I have taken none yet... oh well.. Here ya go.....
